THE HIPPODROME
Hugh Spectacle "America" Enters
Upon Its Tenth Week at New
York Hippodrome.
"America"—propdest andimost elab¬ orate of the long series of notable -apeetacles presented on the vast stage of the New York Hippodrome—enters upon ita tenth week Monday afternoon. A compilation of the box office records shows that 647,848 persons have wit¬ nessed this spectacular travelogue to date.
The one hundredth performance was achieved last Tuesday and the manage¬ ment is looking for "America" to break all records, even for the Hippo¬ drome, because of tbe colossal magni- "tude of the production in which Arthur Voegtlin has eclipsed all his past en¬ deavors.
The eighteen huge scenes carry the beholder from the landing of Colum¬ bus, sbown as a prologue, through var¬ ioaa phases of American life and wide¬ ly diversified American locale, includ¬ ing the New England farm, the levee •t New Orleans, the plaza4)fi|ore the Atamo at San Antonio, two New York atreet scenes, Panama at the entrance to the Canal on the eve of its opening, Culebra Cut and the passage of the flrst American merchant vessel, the National Park, Jacksonville Florida, a Poeblo village in New Mexico, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and, as an allegorical epilogue, tbe "Court of Honor."
The dramatic atory underlying the entertainment begins witb the theft of valuable secret military plans concern¬ ing the Canal, involving a flight by automobile and pursuit through tbe gamo medium over the territory so graphically shown in the scenic dis¬ play. Pageants and parades, incident to tbe opening of tbe Canal and to a demonatration in favor of woman's saffrage, punctuate the unfolding of ^e story, as does a realistic fire in a typical New York tei>ement, with men and women leaping from the upper storie/i to life nets while trucks, en¬ gines and other apparatus aid in tbe battle on the flamee.
A thrilling denonmeni brings the dramatic pursuit to a close—the plunge «f the villian's speeding antomobile over tbe diszy heights of the Grand Canyon into the boiling torrent below.
Ample latitude is afforded in the al¬ legorical epilogue to ase tb^ famous Bippodroroe tank to advantage in a mystityiag evolution on the part of • frtwp; of handfiome young women, who fvoive into water nymphs by marehingi into the pool and disappear- iiag from view for twenty minutes, on¬ ly to march forth calmly and serenely •t |iifl and of tbe scene, apparently none the worse lor their experience.
Joseph Rambisch, a yodug lad of Smithville South, was seriously wounded early last Thursday morning b* bein" shot in the left arm. Jo- aepW, witb bis brother Frank, were out gunning in the woods. Frank waa carrying the gun and Joaeph waa walk-

"In tbe first instance, in opposing a motion which he regarded as obnox¬ ious, be avera, in his petition, that he^ said, in substance, 'he for one would resign'; and that, after the motion was carried, he again aaid 'he would re¬ sign.'
"Obviously and unfortunately, his reporting of his declarations simply paraphrased them, inatead of givin the exact words which he spoke. Such an allegation is bad pleading.
"It may naturalfj^ be assumed, how¬ ever, that the first declaration was ex¬ pressed in the future tense, and that probably he said, 'I will resign'—ex¬ pressing ah intention of future action.
"This case, as imperfectly presented by and in behalf of the respondent, fails to shew, by any evidence, action by the appellant constituting an ac¬ complished resignation of bis office.
"The case is also, as before indi¬ cated, imperfectly presented by and in behalf of the appellant; but bis alle¬ gation of facts, which bave not been disputed, so far as tbey go, do admit of a construction supporting to his specific allegation that he did not ac¬ tually resign, and it muat be agreed tbat he better tban anyone elae knew his own tbougfata and whether what he said or did was intended to be pres¬ ently a resignation or simply a threat or declarfition that he woiild thereafter resign.
"The case, as presented, makes difli¬ cult its satiafactory deciding; but the final conclusion reached is that it has not been establiahed that tbe appellant did make an actnal completed resigna¬ tion of bia office^ and tbat it must be held that he did not resign; tbat the vote of the adjourned annual meeting, on May 27, 1913, to accept hia pre¬ viously offered resignation, was nuga¬ tory and inefl^ectual, becauae auch an offer to reaign, if previoualy made, had been withdrawn; that there waa not then any vacancy in the oflice of trus¬ tee of the said school district; that consequently tbe election at such meeting of tbe respondent, Robert Spearman, aa such a trustee, was null and void, and tbat the appeal mnst be sustained.

"America"—propdest andimost elab¬ orate of the long series of notable -apeetacles presented on the vast stage of the New York Hippodrome—enters upon ita tenth week Monday afternoon. A compilation of the box office records shows that 647,848 persons have wit¬ nessed this spectacular travelogue to date.
The one hundredth performance was achieved last Tuesday and the manage¬ ment is looking for "America" to break all records, even for the Hippo¬ drome, because of tbe colossal magni- "tude of the production in which Arthur Voegtlin has eclipsed all his past en¬ deavors.
The eighteen huge scenes carry the beholder from the landing of Colum¬ bus, sbown as a prologue, through var¬ ioaa phases of American life and wide¬ ly diversified American locale, includ¬ ing the New England farm, the levee •t New Orleans, the plaza4)fi|ore the Atamo at San Antonio, two New York atreet scenes, Panama at the entrance to the Canal on the eve of its opening, Culebra Cut and the passage of the flrst American merchant vessel, the National Park, Jacksonville Florida, a Poeblo village in New Mexico, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and, as an allegorical epilogue, tbe "Court of Honor."
The dramatic atory underlying the entertainment begins witb the theft of valuable secret military plans concern¬ ing the Canal, involving a flight by automobile and pursuit through tbe gamo medium over the territory so graphically shown in the scenic dis¬ play. Pageants and parades, incident to tbe opening of tbe Canal and to a demonatration in favor of woman's saffrage, punctuate the unfolding of ^e story, as does a realistic fire in a typical New York tei>ement, with men and women leaping from the upper storie/i to life nets while trucks, en¬ gines and other apparatus aid in tbe battle on the flamee.
A thrilling denonmeni brings the dramatic pursuit to a close—the plunge «f the villian's speeding antomobile over tbe diszy heights of the Grand Canyon into the boiling torrent below.
Ample latitude is afforded in the al¬ legorical epilogue to ase tb^ famous Bippodroroe tank to advantage in a mystityiag evolution on the part of • frtwp; of handfiome young women, who fvoive into water nymphs by marehingi into the pool and disappear- iiag from view for twenty minutes, on¬ ly to march forth calmly and serenely •t |iifl and of tbe scene, apparently none the worse lor their experience.

"In tbe first instance, in opposing a motion which he regarded as obnox¬ ious, be avera, in his petition, that he^ said, in substance, 'he for one would resign'; and that, after the motion was carried, he again aaid 'he would re¬ sign.'
"Obviously and unfortunately, his reporting of his declarations simply paraphrased them, inatead of givin the exact words which he spoke. Such an allegation is bad pleading.
"It may naturalfj^ be assumed, how¬ ever, that the first declaration was ex¬ pressed in the future tense, and that probably he said, 'I will resign'—ex¬ pressing ah intention of future action.
"This case, as imperfectly presented by and in behalf of the respondent, fails to shew, by any evidence, action by the appellant constituting an ac¬ complished resignation of bis office.
"The case is also, as before indi¬ cated, imperfectly presented by and in behalf of the appellant; but bis alle¬ gation of facts, which bave not been disputed, so far as tbey go, do admit of a construction supporting to his specific allegation that he did not ac¬ tually resign, and it muat be agreed tbat he better tban anyone elae knew his own tbougfata and whether what he said or did was intended to be pres¬ ently a resignation or simply a threat or declarfition that he woiild thereafter resign.
"The case, as presented, makes difli¬ cult its satiafactory deciding; but the final conclusion reached is that it has not been establiahed that tbe appellant did make an actnal completed resigna¬ tion of bia office^ and tbat it must be held that he did not resign; tbat the vote of the adjourned annual meeting, on May 27, 1913, to accept hia pre¬ viously offered resignation, was nuga¬ tory and inefl^ectual, becauae auch an offer to reaign, if previoualy made, had been withdrawn; that there waa not then any vacancy in the oflice of trus¬ tee of the said school district; that consequently tbe election at such meeting of tbe respondent, Robert Spearman, aa such a trustee, was null and void, and tbat the appeal mnst be sustained.
